I wish we did, too. One less key to carry. I love my electronic locks at home. I thought about that last trip. We were getting in the truck when I remembered I'd left my trailer keys on the dining room table. 😧 Paul keeps a spare stashed in the truck, but it requires moving a lot of stuff to get to it. I wish someone would create an RV lock that worked off my phone instead of a fob, though. Sherry

Years ago, we painted a line on our Jacks so I could see where to stop them before the click clack noise .

All jokes aside, this Murphy looks like a really interesting ladder to carry.

Totally agree, Mike. My phone fails me occasionally, but not as often as factory nav in relatively rental cars.

Bingo.

Many of us are from the same generation, or older. 🙂 I personally like the tech, and was seriously disappointed when I drove another brand last year. Especially when it comes to safety tech that will someday (soon) be mandated. My daily driver Silverado truck is 15 years old, and still runs and looks great, so I understand your concern. But, it rarely goes out of the county, or over 45 mph. When I finally give it up my stepside, it will be for a safer product. With much more tech.

Great commercial !

I'll add this caveat, but check with your own cpa. We were told that you could only take the credit on one "home" on a year. So, if you're adding solar to your sticks and bricks home in the same year, don't count on a credit for the trailer. Otherwise, second home. Bathroom and sleeping facilities. Sticks and bricks, trailer, motorhome, boat.

Probably no worries. Especially in the 50s. Similarly powered engine and car towed Lucy and Desi's long, long trailer. 😅 Same v8 engines used in trucks and cars, often. But then, cars were heavy, and gas was cheap. Remember when? Gas war... 17.9 the week I got my first car. Almost half price. Lol. Just a few years later, gas stations had to find a way to add a dollar in front of the cents. Mainiac, you made my day. Sending a screenshot to my old friend. She lives in Sweden, now. Sherry

Is that a 54?💓 My best friend in high school and I had the best of times cruising in her 57. Until the brakes failed, and the neighborhood grocery inadvertantly became a drive-thru. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Sweeeeeet!

Where is that photo from? Looks like a fabric wire wrap around excessive cable. Imo.

My husband got used to it. Tablets and laptops use far less power than TVs. But, if you keep the tv, I'd probably just use velcro and a valance on a thin vinyl batten, rather than a tension rod. You'll be fighting with that tension rod forever.

Susan, I thought of you yesterday when I ran across this generator on Costco . Com. It's an upgraded version of the ai2000 inverter generator my sister bought a few years ago, now has the Yamaha 79cc engine, 2300 watts, 1800 running. 52 db. Quite a few features for $499, free shipping. At 51 pounds, it's not a featherweight, but manageable, especially since it comes with wheels. Unlike the Yamaha 2400, this can be run in parallel with a twin, which would be useful for home use as emergency backup power. What it's missing: no RV plug, but it does have a nema 30 amp, and comes with an rv plug adaptor. Only one carry handle, so harder for two people to share the load if carrying between you. 2300 surge instead of 2400. No, it's not a true Yamaha product, but with Costco's return policy, I wouldn't be hesitant. Costco must have it made in the blue jacket for them, because I found the same generator in red and grey on several other sites, varying prices. The red jacket is on sale at samsclub for about $50 less, $17 shipping if you're not a plus member. Non member price the same as costco .com. I read through a bunch of reviews, and a number of people said it would not run their ac. None of them mentioned whether or not they had a soft start installed in their ac units. Sherry

I missed that. And, it's disappointing.

There's a lot to like about this truck, from first glance. I hope the climate control system runs off that big battery, allowing rest breaks with the fold down seats to be emissions- free and quiet. I'm looking forward to seeing more details as they emerge. Sherry

There's a lithium battery company in Grand Forks that I've been looking at lately, Dakota Lithium. Factory in North Dakota, and an office in Seattle. They discount for pre-order and bulk purchase (2 +), and offer an 11 year warranty. In business since 2004. https://dakotalithium.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw_-D3BRBIEiwAjVMy7OcTsd8O-dRXtIODk__7xfORms8Oac4l32e867tTKY5Ww4CD24nexBoCzmYQAvD_BwE You may think the guy in technical support in this video looks a bit like he could live in Canada. Grand Forks is less than 150 miles south of Winnipeg. 😁 Sherry

Toojennifer, This thread shows some modifications that various owners have made to increase storage. Maybe it will help. In the cabinet my husband and I built after we removed the microwave, I bought an inexpensive expandable wire shelf (on its own legs) to give me two levels in the big cabinet. It really helps, and cost around 8 or 10 dollars. Sherry

Will Prowse does a comparison between Lion Energy and Battleborn in this video, explaining some of the price difference. Edited to add this earlier Will Prowse video, where he talks about an earlier product, Lion Energys "lifetime" warranty, and opens up the case so we can see the components and construction.

Steve, the Lion 1300ut is on sale at Costco.com through July 5, $749. Or, $700 each in a two pack. Did you meet anyone at Quartzite who was actually using these batteries? Sherry

John, is my memory correct? The Yamaha 2400 can't be run in parallel with another one? Will it run your a/c on its own? Sherry

Modernism week is in February each year in Palm Springs. Tour some great examples of desert modern mcm architecture. I'd love to visit during that week, some year. Here's info on next year's events, if you're interested: https://www.modernismweek.com/what/ Sherry

Not really sure what is being posted here, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the choice of the standard water heater. It's included in the price. It's easily serviceable. For boondockers, it can help to limit water consumption. I often heat water for dishes in a tea kettle, to further limit water use. Mostly, it's what you want. I've had both. They're both good. Sherry

That would be likely. Even the ventline creates a lot of suction if it's left on without opening a door or window. Not even sure the window would be enough with 200 cfm.

Andrewk, the shade looks great, and so easy to operate. Since these were created for marine environments, I'm guessing the shade fabric is easy to clean? Website says uv resistant. How long did it take to install? What fasteners did you choose, or were they included? Sure beats the heck out of the "shirt over the head bump cushion over the door" method we use. Even if it's a nice shirt. Lol.😆😅 Your shade looks great! Sherry
